Some of you may be aware that I purchased a project bike from Ringding a while ago. That project has been a work in progress now for a while. Essentially it is a 1975 GT750 motor that has been transplanted into a 1994 Yamaha FZR1000 chassis. I am in the process of uploading pictures to PhotoBucket and will start to post proggres here. Here is the initial concept drawing for the body design.

Here is an initial picture with motor partway installed and mocked up with the bodywork.

I like what you've done with the silencers on those Jemcos, what was involved?

Hi Rassie,
Really nice work there, loved your last bike too.
Have you modified the jemco stingers/silencer dimensions or only shaved the outer tube away like when doing the dg pipe mod on yams?
Cheers

The Jemcos were ordered with the stingers, they make them like that. In this case the parts were ordered as pieces that were just tack welded. I then modified the individual sections to get the correct fit and routing.

in the 2nd photo, looking over the top of the triples, looks like you added fork extenders?

No that is where the stock clipons mount up under the triple. But good point, these forks are quite long about 2" longer than say R1 or GSXR forks. I looked into installing an R1 front end, but the forks are too short.

Thought I will post some more pics tonight. The build is now in final assembly but I had it running before to test everything and then took it apart for finishing. So some of these pictures are from a few weeks/months ago.
In this picture you can see the cradle frame that holds the motor and also the way the chambers fit.
Here it is at the inspection station getting inspected so I could get the paperwork done. I trailer-ed it there and took it off to ride it into the testing facility. The rules here say you ride it in and out. It passed without any issues even though it had a leaky head gasket.
This one shows some details of the bodywork I made out of 18 gauge flat plate steel. The taillight is from a Suzuki SV650.
This one shows the fairing I made and the headlight is from a V-rod (please don't tell my friends
)
This last one is showing the dashboard with the Koso mini OLED display.

I installed a new Cometic gasket and the shiny head bolt kit. The motor is starting to look quite nice.
